I had a moment where I became giddy at the thought that I have butterfly wings hanging up in my laundry room.

I accidentally brushed up against the wings of Amanda's Halloween costume and I couldn't help but giggle..I'm a girl mom...I have butterfly wings in my laundry room hanging up to dry...I have a drawer full of hairbows and ribbons (that don't quite fit on her hairless head yet)I do an entire load of wash that is all pink every single week. (Ok.. well Ross does the laundry, but still there is an entire load of pink clothes)

Last week was full of social activities leading up to the first day of Preschool for Nathan. He went to preschool last year, but this is "Big Time" preschool. This is a big preschool, more preschool than daycare.

He was excited to go to the "Purple Door" School again. (He is in the Purple Room!) I was actually excited to get back to work and meeting with my clients. We got there, and he ran into his class and started playing with the animals. I went to say goodbye, and he said "This is Elise" (pointing to his new friend sitting next to him) He hands her a Giraffe and says "Bye Bye Mommy"I stand up to walk outside, and suddenly I feel something coming over me. I get outside the door and a sob comes out! I was completely startled by it, so it comes out as some awful noise. The pastor of the school rushes over to give me a hug... I'm mortified because I wasn't prepared for the tears. I am excited for him to go to school, this is a good thing for him... But...But...But... We had so much fun this summer, and now he's just so... so... BIG.

And this girl... is cracking us up. She is keeps getting into the summersault position. She also tears around the house using a walker. No sign of trying to walk on her own. She loves the walker.

My friend Carly, has an amazing pool. I love it, and want one just like it. It's really baby and toddler friendly! One of the highlights of the last few weeks has been swimming at her house. The kids have a blast, mom has fun chit chatting with friends, and everyone comes home blissfully tired ready for a nap.

About Me

Parlez-vous du francais?

The Yes Project - For the year 2012, I have resolved to say YES! more often than No when opportunities arise and document where saying yes takes me this year. Please feel free to suggest some Yes-worthy activities.

Moi - That's me, the author, the mom, the wife, and the butt of all jokes. I love my blog and I love shoes more than one human should.

Mr. Man - He's the guy I married and adopted two beautiful babies with. I like him. He puts up with a lot of my hi-jinks and hilarity.

Mr. Boy - The Jr. Mr. Man aka my son. He is a BIG personality in a tiny body, who is happiest when being the leader of the pack. He is obnoxiously stubborn... just like his dad. (ahem.. and mom)

AK-47 - The little mademoiselle of the house. Mostly referred to as AK as to not promote violence on a daily basis. She has an intense imagination and is fiercely protective of her ice cream.

The Chalet - Our house in the hills of Los Angeles. A work in progress, that underwent a massive renovation in 2010-2011. It is our dream house and home to a herd 17 deer.
